EcoTipping Points - An Introductory Overview

Day by day, we face torrents of environmental bad news. It’s cheap and easy to destroy our natural support systems. It seems overwhelmingly complicated and costly to save them. But quietly, around the globe, pioneers in community organizations, business, and government are making changes that turn ecosystems away from ruin and back toward health and sustainability. We have documented over 100 of Success Stories from around the world. All of these stories hinge on EcoTipping Points - “levers” that turn small investments into large returns by tapping the inborn power of natural systems and human societies to heal themselves. Instead of paddling against the current, EcoTipping Points change the flow of the river.

We invite you to journey around the world with our videos and stories, and the lessons they offer for effective community action. Explore our other resources, including articles, links, lesson plans, and educational materials for students of all ages…
